My truck: 99 Ford Ranger XLT 4 door with a 3.0 automatic. I'm slowly accumulating parts for my full build and doing some simple upgrades in the meantime. So far, I have the Camburg 5.5 kit with full heim steering, front and rear bumpers, front fiberglass, pulled bedsides, 33's, 8.8 with 4.10's and LS, Desert traks for glamis, 3 Kragen HIDs, '08 taillights, and Hella horns.

**JakeP** · 07-19-2009, 10:16 PM

Stock with 31's...

Built a bolt on rear bumper, trimmed, and then pulled the bedsides...

Add a front bumper with lights

and fiberglass and 33's

Since then, I sold the black headlights and added the 5.5

**SocalRanger** · 08-06-2009, 10:53 PM

What part of Riverside are you located in? I live right of central on Royal Hill.

**JakeP** · 08-09-2009, 12:58 PM

I'm in woodcrest, near Van Buren and Washington.

Working on some F-23 Deavers, replacement bushings, and rub pads. They need some paint.

**SocalRanger** · 08-11-2009, 02:48 PM

How is the truck riding with the new leafs?

**JakeP** · 08-18-2009, 08:31 AM

Haven't got all the stuff for my bedcage build, so I'm waiting to put them on.

Update: I just picked these up; can either go 2.0 upgrade or 2.0 coilover with these... (my camburg coils are saaaaagged out)

**JakeP** · 08-27-2009, 06:42 PM

Just hacked out my inner fenders, picked up some double pinch bump cans, and the camburg 2.o shock mounts... Will post pictures tomorrow.

**04yfzkid** · 08-28-2009, 08:00 AM

I want to see pictures!

**JakeP** · 08-29-2009, 11:24 AM

There's probably 30 spotwelds holding on each inner fender.

I welded up the supports and did some fiberglass trimming (last picture) and I'm working on some 1" tube fiberglass mounts.

**maxyedor** · 09-02-2009, 09:19 PM

Forget the tig welder, what are you doing with that 6" dimple die?

**714 Redneck Ranger** · 09-10-2009, 05:36 PM

You need to put those deavers on your truck jake, the back end of it bounced around like the front end of my old truck in barstow (my avatar) haha, i LOVE that front end though.

**JakeP** · 09-13-2009, 03:21 PM

Thanks man, nice meeting you out there. It's too bad you couldn't stay longer. Any pictures?

Full-plate lightbar to hold four 6" lights.

**JakeP** · 09-13-2009, 07:55 PM

Popcorn holders for when I'm cruising DR in my truck.

**coopaaron0** · 09-13-2009, 08:40 PM

Glad to see the kit went on, good job on the install bud.

**only1mikey** · 09-14-2009, 12:45 AM

Looks good!

Mike

**04yfzkid** · 09-14-2009, 09:23 AM

**OceansideLocal** · 10-06-2009, 12:03 PM

Wheres that at with all the cars in the backround?

**04yfzkid** · 10-06-2009, 12:57 PM

Jake man, the things looks so much better. I am blown away! When is the next trip?

**JakeP** · 10-06-2009, 01:46 PM

Thanks guys. I'm looking for a spare 33 12.5 15 so I can put the white one(front left) back in my bed. Once these tires wear out, I'm going to pick up some 17" beadlocks... Next trip for me is Glamis halloween! Soooo stoked.

Pictures were taken at my friends private race/nascar fabrication shop in Riverside. Wish I had a better camera, those cars are beautiful. I'll take some of the Porsche or Cobra next time.
